M3 Date

I looked up the date (approximate) of the M3. It was towards the end of a particular run of this version (of the M3) during 1955.

In other words, this camera is 50 years old. Well that certainly must have been a different sort of world that made things like this. Will the future archeologist dig up through technological layers and find that the last strata before the digital age was the mechanical / atomic age?

How long did the mechanical age last? A few hundred years? I wonder how long the digital age will last. And what will come after it in the technology stratum.

Oh - the search for images looks like idleness on the outside. Standing on the corner, watching the shadows go by. How long should I do this for? Why am I doing it? What do I expect? I don't know. I hadn't tried shadows in water before. Well, why should I care about shadows in water? But the tone is different. There's some texture in the water. And besides - that shadow on the left - looks like "the missing link." But really. How can you explain the reason for it all?

The same goes for any obsession I guess. You can't really explain it.

Yes, yes - but why does that guy wanna take pictures of our feet?

Tiffany & Co.

From last night... Everytime I stepped back off the sidewalk (5th Avenue) I nearly got hit by a cab. I did lot's of shots with people walking by - but I like this one best. I am going, with the next roll I shoot - to experiment with shooting the tri-x at 800 so I can stop motion better at night.
